Is a Crooked Tire a Sign of a Broken Axle?

[LaEmmanuel]

There are many reasons why a tire may become crooked, and a broken axle is just one possible cause. Car owners can systematically investigate the specific reason. In fact, the likelihood of a car experiencing a broken axle is relatively low, generally falling into two scenarios: one is a broken axle caused by quality issues, and the other is a broken axle resulting from a collision. If the broken axle is due to a collision, the only solution is to handle it through insurance. There are several potential reasons for a crooked tire after an impact: misaligned suspension or damaged and deformed shock absorber top mounts—such component damage usually requires replacement. If the tire or wheel rim is deformed, minor deformation that doesn't severely misalign the tire may not require immediate action. However, it can pose a safety hazard during normal driving, so it's best to opt for replacement or repair. A bent steering tie rod is another likely fault; an impact on the tire could bend the tie rod, which can often be corrected through alignment.
